Description: =====
        Fiona
        =====
        
        Fiona is OGR's neat, nimble, no-nonsense API for Python programmers.
        
        Fiona is designed to be simple and dependable. It focuses on reading and
        writing data in standard Python IO style and relies upon familiar Python types
        and protocols such as files, dictionaries, mappings, and iterators instead of
        classes specific to OGR. Fiona can read and write real-world data using
        multi-layered GIS formats and zipped virtual file systems and integrates
        readily with other Python GIS packages such as pyproj_, Rtree_, and Shapely_.

        Usage
        =====
        
        Collections
        -----------
        
        Records are read from and written to ``file``-like `Collection` objects
        returned from the ``fiona.open()`` function.  Records are mappings modeled on
        the GeoJSON format. They don't have any spatial methods of their own, so if you
        want to do anything fancy with them you will probably need Shapely or something
        like it. Here is an example of using Fiona to read some records from one data
        file, change their geometry attributes, and write them to a new data file.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            import fiona
          
            # Register format drivers with a context manager
            
            with fiona.drivers():
        
                # Open a file for reading. We'll call this the "source."
                
                with fiona.open('tests/data/coutwildrnp.shp') as source:
        
                    # The file we'll write to, the "sink", must be initialized
                    # with a coordinate system, a format driver name, and
                    # a record schema.  We can get initial values from the open
                    # collection's ``meta`` property and then modify them as
                    # desired.
        
                    meta = source.meta
                    meta['schema']['geometry'] = 'Point'
        
                    # Open an output file, using the same format driver and
                    # coordinate reference system as the source. The ``meta``
                    # mapping fills in the keyword parameters of fiona.open().
                    
                    with fiona.open('test_write.shp', 'w', **meta) as sink:
        
                        # Process only the records intersecting a box.
                        for f in source.filter(bbox=(-107.0, 37.0, -105.0, 39.0)):
                  
                            # Get a point on the boundary of the record's
                            # geometry.
                            
                            f['geometry'] = {
                                'type': 'Point',
                                'coordinates': f['geometry']['coordinates'][0][0]}
                      
                            # Write the record out.
                            
                            sink.write(f)
                      
                # The sink's contents are flushed to disk and the file is
                # closed when its ``with`` block ends. This effectively
                # executes ``sink.flush(); sink.close()``.
        
            # At the end of the ``with fiona.drivers()`` block, context
            # manager exits and all drivers are de-registered.
        
        The fiona.drivers() function and context manager are new in 1.1. The
        example above shows the way to use it to register and de-register
        drivers in a deterministic and efficient way. Code written for Fiona 1.0
        will continue to work: opened collections may manage the global driver
        registry if no other manager is present.
        
        Reading Multilayer data
        -----------------------
        
        Collections can also be made from single layers within multilayer files or
        directories of data. The target layer is specified by name or by its integer
        index within the file or directory. The ``fiona.listlayers()`` function
        provides an index ordered list of layer names.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            with fiona.drivers():
        
                for layername in fiona.listlayers('tests/data'):
                    with fiona.open('tests/data', layer=layername) as src:
                        print(layername, len(src))
            
            # Output:
            # (u'coutwildrnp', 67)
        
        Layer can also be specified by index. In this case, ``layer=0`` and
        ``layer='test_uk'`` specify the same layer in the data file or directory.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            with fiona.drivers():
        
                for i, layername in enumerate(fiona.listlayers('tests/data')):
                    with fiona.open('tests/data', layer=i) as src:
                        print(i, layername, len(src))
            
            # Output:
            # (0, u'coutwildrnp', 67)
        
        Writing Multilayer data
        -----------------------
        
        Multilayer data can be written as well. Layers must be specified by name when
        writing.
        
        .. code-block:: python
            
            with fiona.drivers():
        
                with open('tests/data/cowildrnp.shp') as src:
                    meta = src.meta
                    f = next(src)
            
                with fiona.open('/tmp/foo', 'w', layer='bar', **meta) as dst:
                    dst.write(f)
            
                print(fiona.listlayers('/tmp/foo'))
        
                with fiona.open('/tmp/foo', layer='bar') as src:
                    print(len(src))
                    f = next(src)
                    print(f['geometry']['type'])
                    print(f['properties'])
            
                # Output:
                # [u'bar']
                # 1
                # Polygon
                # OrderedDict([(u'PERIMETER', 1.22107), (u'FEATURE2', None), (u'NAME', u'Mount Naomi Wilderness'), (u'FEATURE1', u'Wilderness'), (u'URL', u'http://www.wilderness.net/index.cfm?fuse=NWPS&sec=wildView&wname=Mount%20Naomi'), (u'AGBUR', u'FS'), (u'AREA', 0.0179264), (u'STATE_FIPS', u'49'), (u'WILDRNP020', 332), (u'STATE', u'UT')])
        
        A view of the /tmp/foo directory will confirm the creation of the new files.
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
            $ ls /tmp/foo
            bar.cpg bar.dbf bar.prj bar.shp bar.shx
        
        Collections from archives and virtual file systems
        --------------------------------------------------
        
        Zip and Tar archives can be treated as virtual filesystems and Collections can
        be made from paths and layers within them. In other words, Fiona lets you read
        and write zipped Shapefiles.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            with fiona.drivers():
        
                for i, layername in enumerate(
                        fiona.listlayers(
                            '/', 
                            vfs='zip://tests/data/coutwildrnp.zip')):
                    with fiona.open(
                            '/', 
                            vfs='zip://tests/data/coutwildrnp.zip', 
                            layer=i) as src:
                        print(i, layername, len(src))
            
            # Output:
            # (0, u'coutwildrnp', 67)
        
        Fiona CLI
        =========
        
        Fiona's command line interface, named "fio", is documented at `docs/cli.rst
        <https://github.com/Toblerity/Fiona/blob/master/docs/cli.rst>`__. Its ``fio
        info`` pretty prints information about a data file.
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
            $ fio info --indent 2 tests/data/coutwildrnp.shp
            {
              "count": 67,

                }
              }
            }
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        Fiona requires Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, or 3.4 and GDAL/OGR 1.8+. To build from
        a source distribution you will need a C compiler and GDAL and Python
        development headers and libraries (libgdal1-dev for Debian/Ubuntu, gdal-dev for
        CentOS/Fedora).
        
        To build from a repository copy, you will also need Cython to build C sources
        from the project's .pyx files. See the project's requirements-dev.txt file for
        guidance.
        
        The `Kyngchaos GDAL frameworks
        <http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/frameworks#gdal_complete>`__ will satisfy
        the GDAL/OGR dependency for OS X, as will Homebrew's GDAL Formula (``brew install
        gdal``).
        
        Python Requirements
        -------------------
        
        Fiona depends on the modules ``six``, ``cligj``,  ``munch``, ``argparse``, and
        ``ordereddict`` (the two latter modules are standard in Python 2.7+). Pip will
        fetch these requirements for you, but users installing Fiona from a Windows
        installer must get them separately.
        
        Unix-like systems
        -----------------
        
        Assuming you're using a virtualenv (if not, skip to the 4th command) and
        GDAL/OGR libraries, headers, and `gdal-config`_ program are installed to well
        known locations on your system via your system's package manager (``brew
        install gdal`` using Homebrew on OS X), installation is this simple.
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
          $ mkdir fiona_env
          $ virtualenv fiona_env
          $ source fiona_env/bin/activate
          (fiona_env)$ pip install fiona
        
        If gdal-config is not available or if GDAL/OGR headers and libs aren't
        installed to a well known location, you must set include dirs, library dirs,
        and libraries options via the setup.cfg file or setup command line as shown
        below (using ``git``). You must also specify the major version of the GDAL API
        (1 or 2) on the setup command line.
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
          (fiona_env)$ git clone git://github.com/Toblerity/Fiona.git
          (fiona_env)$ cd Fiona
          (fiona_env)$ python setup.py build_ext -I/path/to/gdal/include -L/path/to/gdal/lib -lgdal install --gdalversion 1
        
        Or specify that build options and GDAL API version should be provided by a
        particular gdal-config program.
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
          (fiona_env)$ GDAL_CONFIG=/path/to/gdal-config pip install fiona
        
        Windows
        -------
        
        Binary installers are available at
        http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#fiona and coming eventually to PyPI.
        
        You can download a binary distribution of GDAL from `here
        <http://www.gisinternals.com/release.php>`_.  You will also need to download
        the compiled libraries and headers (include files).
        
        When building from source on Windows, it is important to know that setup.py
        cannot rely on gdal-config, which is only present on UNIX systems, to discover 
        the locations of header files and libraries that Fiona needs to compile its 
        C extensions. On Windows, these paths need to be provided by the user. 
        You will need to find the include files and the library files for gdal and 
        use setup.py as follows. You must also specify the major version of the GDAL
        API (1 or 2) on the setup command line.
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
            $ python setup.py build_ext -I<path to gdal include files> -lgdal_i -L<path to gdal library> install --gdalversion 1
        
        Note: The GDAL dll (gdal111.dll) and gdal-data directory need to be in your 
        Windows PATH otherwise Fiona will fail to work.
        
        Development and testing
        =======================
        
        Building from the source requires Cython. Tests require Nose. If the GDAL/OGR
        libraries, headers, and `gdal-config`_ program are installed to well known
        locations on your system (via your system's package manager), you can do this::
        
          (fiona_env)$ git clone git://github.com/Toblerity/Fiona.git
          (fiona_env)$ cd Fiona
          (fiona_env)$ pip install cython
          (fiona_env)$ pip install -e .[test]
          (fiona_env)$ nosetests
        
        Or you can use the ``pep-518-install`` script::
        
          (fiona_env)$ git clone git://github.com/Toblerity/Fiona.git
          (fiona_env)$ cd Fiona
          (fiona_env)$ ./pep-518-install
        
        If you have a non-standard environment, you'll need to specify the include and
        lib dirs and GDAL library on the command line::
        
          (fiona_env)$ python setup.py build_ext -I/path/to/gdal/include -L/path/to/gdal/lib -lgdal --gdalversion 2 develop
          (fiona_env)$ nosetests

        ------------------
        
        Bug fixes:
        
        - Fall back to `share/proj` for PROJ_LIB (#440).
        - Replace every call to `OSRDestroySpatialReference()` with `OSRRelease()`,
          fixing the GPKG driver crasher reported in #441 (#443).
        - Add a `DriverIOError` derived from `IOError` to use for driver-specific
          errors such as the GeoJSON driver's refusal to overwrite existing files.
          Also we now ensure that when this error is raised by `fiona.open()` any
          created read or write session is deleted, this eliminates spurious 
          exceptions on teardown of broken `Collection` objects (#437, #444).
        
        1.7.5 (2017-03-20)
        ------------------
        
        Bug fixes:
        
        - Opening a data file in read (the default) mode with `fiona.open()` using the
          the `driver` or `drivers` keyword arguments (to specify certain format 
          drivers) would sometimes cause a crash on Windows due to improperly
          terminated lists of strings (#428). The fix: Fiona's buggy `string_list()`
          has been replaced by GDAL's `CSLAddString()`.
        
        1.7.4 (2017-02-20)
        ------------------
        
        Bug fixes:
        
        - OGR's EsriJSON detection fails when certain keys aren't found in the first
          6000 bytes of data passed to `BytesCollection` (#422). A .json file extension
          is now explicitly given to the in-memory file behind `BytesCollection` when
          the `driver='GeoJSON'` keyword argument is given (#423). 
        
        1.7.3 (2017-02-14)
        ------------------
        
        Roses are red.
        Tan is a pug.
        Software regression's
        the most embarrassing bug.
        
        Bug fixes:
        
        - Use __stdcall for GDAL error handling callback on Windows as in Rasterio.
        - Turn on latent support for zip:// URLs in rio-cat and rio-info (#421).
        - The 1.7.2 release broke support for zip files with absolute paths (#418).
          This regression has been fixed with tests to confirm.
        
        1.7.2 (2017-01-27)
        ------------------
        
        Future Deprecation:
        
        - `Collection.__next__()` is buggy in that it can lead to duplication of 
          features when used in combination with `Collection.filter()` or
          `Collection.__iter__()`. It will be removed in Fiona 2.0. Please check for
          usage of this deprecated feature by running your tests or programs with
          `PYTHONWARNINGS="always:::fiona"` or `-W"always:::fiona"` and switch from
          `next(collection)` to `next(iter(collection))` (#301).
        
        Bug fix:
        
        - Zipped streams of bytes can be accessed by `BytesCollection` (#318).
        
        1.7.1.post1 (2016-12-23)
        ------------------------
        - New binary wheels using version 1.2.0 of sgillies/frs-wheel-builds. See
          https://github.com/sgillies/frs-wheel-builds/blob/master/CHANGES.txt.
        
        1.7.1 (2016-11-16)
        ------------------
        
        Bug Fixes:
        
        - Prevent Fiona from stumbling over 'Z', 'M', and 'ZM' geometry types
          introduced in GDAL 2.1 (#384). Fiona 1.7.1 doesn't add explicit support for
          these types, they are coerced to geometry types 1-7 ('Point', 'LineString',
          etc.)
        - Raise an `UnsupportedGeometryTypeError` when a bogus or unsupported 
          geometry type is encountered in a new collection's schema or elsewhere
          (#340).
        - Enable `--precision 0` for fio-cat (#370).
        - Prevent datetime exceptions from unnecessarily stopping collection iteration
          by yielding `None` (#385)
        - Replace log.warn calls with log.warning calls (#379).
        - Print an error message if neither gdal-config or `--gdalversion` indicate
          a GDAL C API version when running `setup.py` (#364).
        - Let dict-like subclasses through CRS type checks (#367).
        
        1.7.0post2 (2016-06-15)
        -----------------------
        
        Packaging: define extension modules for 'clean' and 'config' targets (#363).
        
        1.7.0post1 (2016-06-15)
        -----------------------
        
        Packaging: No files are copied for the 'clean' setup target (#361, #362).
        
        1.7.0 (2016-06-14)
        ------------------
        
        The C extension modules in this library can now be built and used with either
        a 1.x or 2.x release of the GDAL library. Big thanks to René Buffat for
        leading this effort.
        
        Refactoring:
        
        - The `ogrext1.pyx` and `ogrext2.pyx` files now use separate
          C APIs defined in `ogrext1.pxd` and `ogrex2.pxd`. The other extension
          modules have been refactored so that they do not depend on either of these
          modules and use subsets of the GDAL/OGR API compatible with both GDAL 1.x and
          2.x (#359).
        
        Packaging:
        
        - Source distributions now contain two different sources for the
          `ogrext` extension module. The `ogrext1.c` file will be used with GDAL 1.x
          and the `ogrext2.c` file will be used with GDAL 2.x.
        
        1.7b2 (2016-06-13)
        ------------------
        
        - New feature: enhancement of the `--layer` option for fio-cat and fio-dump
          to allow separate layers of one or more multi-layer input files to be
          selected (#349).
        
        1.7b1 (2016-06-10)
        ------------------
        
        - New feature: support for GDAL version 2+ (#259).
        - New feature: a new fio-calc CLI command (#273).
        - New feature: `--layer` options for fio-info (#316) and fio-load (#299).
        - New feature: a `--no-parse` option for fio-collect that lets a careful user
          avoid extra JSON serialization and deserialization (#306).
        - Bug fix: `+wktext` is now preserved when serializing CRS from WKT to PROJ.4
          dicts (#352).
        - Bug fix: a small memory leak when opening a collection has been fixed (#337).
        - Bug fix: internal unicode errors now result in a log message and a 
          `UnicodeError` exception, not a `TypeError` (#356).
        
        1.6.4 (2016-05-06)
        ------------------
        - Raise ImportError if the active GDAL library version is >= 2.0 instead of
          failing unpredictably (#338, #341). Support for GDAL>=2.0 is coming in
          Fiona 1.7.
        
        1.6.3.post1 (2016-03-27)
        ------------------------
        - No changes to the library in this post-release version, but there is a
          significant change to the distributions on PyPI: to help make Fiona more
          compatible with Shapely on OS X, the GDAL shared library included in the
          macosx (only) binary wheels now statically links the GEOS library. See
          https://github.com/sgillies/frs-wheel-builds/issues/5.
        
        1.6.3 (2015-12-22)
        ------------------
        - Daytime has been decreasing in the Northern Hemisphere, but is now
          increasing again as it should.
        - Non-UTF strings were being passed into OGR functions in some situations
          and on Windows this would sometimes crash a Python process (#303). Fiona
          now raises errors derived from UnicodeError when field names or field
          values can't be encoded.
        
        1.6.2 (2015-09-22)
        ------------------
        - Providing only PROJ4 representations in the dataset meta property resulted in
          loss of CRS information when using the `fiona.open(..., **src.meta) as dst`
          pattern (#265). This bug has been addressed by adding a crs_wkt item to the`
          meta property and extending the `fiona.open()` and the collection constructor
          to look for and prioritize this keyword argument.
        
        1.6.1 (2015-08-12)
        ------------------
        - Bug fix: Fiona now deserializes JSON-encoded string properties provided by
          the OGR GeoJSON driver (#244, #245, #246).
        - Bug fix: proj4 data was not copied properly into binary distributions due to
          a typo (#254).

          big change. Fiona is now compatible with rasterio and plays better with the
          osgeo package.
        
        1.0.3 (2014-01-21)
        ------------------

        1.0.1 (2013-08-16)
        ------------------
        - Allow ordering of written fields and preservation of field order when
          reading (#57).

          always be str, never bytes.
        - Remove encoding from collection.meta, it's a file creation option only.
        - Support for linking GDAL frameworks (#54).
        
        0.16.1 (2013-07-02)
        -------------------

        - Fix broken installation of extension modules (#35).
        - Log CPL errors at their matching Python log levels.
        - Use upper case for encoding names within OGR, lower case in Python.
        
        0.11 (2013-04-14)
        -----------------
        - Cythonize .pyx files (#34).
        - Work with or around OGR's internal recoding of record data (#35).
        - Fix bug in serialization of int/float PROJ.4 params.
        
        0.10 (2013-03-23)
        -----------------
        - Add function to get the width of str type properties.
        - Handle validation and schema representation of 3D geometry types (#29).
        - Return {'geometry': None} in the case of a NULL geometry (#31).
        
        0.9.1 (2013-03-07)
        ------------------
        - Silence the logger in ogrext.so (can be overridden).
        - Allow user specification of record field encoding (like 'Windows-1252' for
          Natural Earth shapefiles) to help when OGR can't detect it.
        
        0.9 (2013-03-06)
        ----------------
        - Accessing file metadata (crs, schema, bounds) on never inspected closed files
          returns None without exceptions.
        - Add a dict of supported_drivers and their supported modes.
        - Raise ValueError for unsupported drivers and modes.
        - Remove asserts from ogrext.pyx.
        - Add validate_record method to collections.
        - Add helpful coordinate system functions to fiona.crs.
        - Promote use of fiona.open over fiona.collection.
        - Handle Shapefile's mix of LineString/Polygon and multis (#18).
        - Allow users to specify width of shapefile text fields (#20).
        
        0.8 (2012-02-21)
        ----------------
        - Replaced .opened attribute with .closed (product of collection() is always
          opened). Also a __del__() which will close a Collection, but still not to be
          depended upon.
        - Added writerecords method.
        - Added a record buffer and better counting of records in a collection.
        - Manage one iterator per collection/session.
        - Added a read-only bounds property.
        
        0.7 (2012-01-29)
        ----------------
        - Initial timezone-naive support for date, time, and datetime fields. Don't use
          these field types if you can avoid them. RFC 3339 datetimes in a string field
          are much better.
        
        0.6.2 (2012-01-10)
        ------------------
        - Diagnose and set the driver property of collection in read mode.
        - Fail if collection paths are not to files. Multi-collection workspaces are
          a (maybe) TODO.
        
        0.6.1 (2012-01-06)
        ------------------
        - Handle the case of undefined crs for disk collections.
        
        0.6 (2012-01-05)
        ----------------
        - Support for collection coordinate reference systems based on Proj4.
        - Redirect OGR warnings and errors to the Fiona log.
        - Assert that pointers returned from the ograpi functions are not NULL before
          using.
        
        0.5 (2011-12-19)
        ----------------
        - Support for reading and writing collections of any geometry type.
        - Feature and Geometry classes replaced by mappings (dicts).
        - Removal of Workspace class.
        
        0.2 (2011-09-16)
        ----------------
        - Rename WorldMill to Fiona.
        
        0.1.1 (2008-12-04)
        ------------------
        - Support for features with no geometry.

        Fiona would not be possible without the great work of Frank Warmerdam and other
        GDAL/OGR developers.
